Ugh, I completely hate yeast rashes! My oldest had constant diaper rash...I'm wondering now if it was the disposables. I know she has super sensitive skin. We treated for yeast so many times, and that was miserable!!!

But good, just corn starch! I can manage that! Can you think of any barrier type diaper rash treatment/protectant that is CD friendly?

I don't know about anything else for sure because that's all I ever used but I believe some use Coconut Oil as a diaper cream and i would think it's CD safe since it's actually absorbed by the skin but someone else really needs to chime in on that because I'm not 100% sure on that one lol

lol I have no idea either I never even knew using corn starch with a yeast rash was bad until recently so I'm just assuming my kids never had one since that's all i ever used on them and corn starch always fixed them up with in 24 hrs. My DD mainly got rashes when she had acidic stuff like fruit juices so that was the main cause of our rashes. Hopefully someone else can jump in and enlighten us it's been a little over 5 yrs since I had to deal with diaper rashes.

It's been 10 years since I've had to deal with one, so it's hard to remember for me too! All I really remember is that it wouldn't go away with normal diaper rash treatments. Air, desitin, or other things. It was all red and raw and above and beyond what a "normal" diaper rash would look like. I ended up potty training her at 21 mos, completely trained at 22, because I couldn't put a diaper on her without getting this rash. CD'ing just wasn't an option then.

ok, coconut oil and CJ's BUTTer....I'm guessing A&D is bad....i love A&D. I saw somewhere else that they used bag balm. I think though that because it's petroleum based it'd not work too well on the CD's. LOL, thinking out loud (or typing) I think this LO has tougher skin than my other two because we've never had redness that didn't go away within 10 min of being naked....let alone a rash!

I use Angel Bottom and it is not only CD friendly, it is also edible and when you have a 2 yo who gets into everything (including an entire tube of desitin all over her hands and face) that is an extra added bonus.

To who ever asked what a yeast infection looks like. A regular rash is just red skin but pretty smooth. yeast will be raised a little and it will have a definite border on it. When my daughter had one, it reminded me of ringworm where there was a ring around the infected area. If you are in doubt, go see your doctor but unless it is really bad, they will just tell you to put lotrimin cream on it. If you are not using cloth wipes, be careful if your child's skin gets raw, most wipes have alcohol in them and will cause great pain when used. Find one that is alcohol free like Huggies Natural Care. If you can't go get extra wipes, then just take the ones you have and rinse them off before using them. I learned this the hard way!!!!

We use either cornstarch, Angel Baby Bottom Balm, or Motherlove Diaper Rash and Thrush balm, just sort of depending on what I think it's stemming from. Also, I try to treat the CAUSE of the rash more than the rash itself. (Do the diapers need stripping? Is he not getting enough bare bottom time? Does he have yeast? Is he eating something too acidic? Is it too warm and he's getting sweaty? Etc.)

I use cornstarch after every diaper change. If there is any sign of redness or rash I use Northern Essence Diaper Rash Salve from www.northernessence.com . I LOVE this and it has worked the best for us and leaves no residue on any of our cloth diapers. I usually use cornstarch along with the diaper rash salve as well. I hope this help!

My 3weekold has a constant red rash (CD, cloth wipes, EBF)... but I'm pretty sure it's not the diapes because it's pretty much only around his anus. I've just assumed it's from all the constant watery BF pooing. Corn starch doesn't do much but I keep using it. I wish someone could point me to a magic cream.

Grandma El's! It's CD safe and in two days it's nearly cleared up the diaper rash that we've been battling for about two months. Yes, two months of diaper rash h*ll. LO has a dairy sensitivity and it caused acid burns on his bottom before we figured out that was his problem. On top of that, I've been on antibiotics twice since giving birth 9 weeks ago and he's EBF. Soooo, to sum up, we've dealt with stomach problems from dairy and antibiotics, acid burns, and watery poop and we're finally winning the battle. We tried several other things and this has been the only thing that is working on the raw spots around his anus. Cornstarch would clear up redness he got from being too wet or whatever, but it wouldn't fix the raw spots.

In other words, I highly recommend Grandma El's as it won't ruin your diapers and it really works. The only downside is that it's a bit pricey.
